Articles of the faith and other such like things And after when the child groweth in yeares the godfather and godmother are bound to haue care to instruct it in matters of faith and in good maners if the father and mother be herein negligent And moreouer it is to be noted that by Baptisme they become alyed by a spiritual affinitie to the partie that is baptised and to his father and mother as wel he that baptiseth as the godfather and godmother Of the Sacrament of Confirmation S VVE haue spoken sufficiently of Baptisme tel me now I pray you what meaneth confirmation or Chrisme which is the second Sacrament M The second Sacrament is called Confirmation because the effect therof is to confirme the baptised in faith as we shal say by and by It is also called Chrisme which is a greeke word and signifieth vnction because in this Sacrament the forehead of the person that receiueth this Sacrament is anointed with holie Chrisme For as in Baptisme the baptised is washed with water to signifie that the grace of God washeth his soule from all spot of sinnes so in Chrisme the forehead is anointed to signifie that the grace of God anoynteth the soule so comforteth and fortifieth it that it may fight against the diuel and confesse boldly the holy faith without feare of torments or of death it selfe S In what time ought this Sacrament to be receiued M It ought to bee receiued when the childe is come to vse of reason because then hee beginneth to confesse his faith and hath need to bee confirmed and established in the grace of God S Doth this Sacrament worke any thing else besides the fortifying of the soule M It leaueth a caracter or marke fixed and printed in the soule which neuer can bee scraped out therefore this Sacrament can not bee receiued oftner then once S What neede is there to imprint in the soule any other marke seing that of baptisme may suffice M This second caractar or marke is not imprinted without cause For that by the first a mā is only knowen to be a Christian that is of the familie of Christ but by this second it is knowne that he is a souldier of christ and therefore he carrieth in his soule the armes of his captaine as in the world souldiers carrie them on their garments whosoeuer receiue this Sacrament and goe into hell shall haue the greater confusion for that euery one shall see that they made professiō of the souldiers of christ are after so fowly reuolted from him Of the Sacraments of the Eucharist S MAY it please you declare to me nowe the third Sacrament first tel me what meaneth this word Eucharist M This is a greeke word also it signifyeth gratefull memorie or thanks giuing For in this Sacramēt memorie is made thanks are giuen to God for the most excellent benefite of the holy Passion of our Sauiour and withall there is giuen the true bodie bloud of our Lord for which wee are bound to render perpetuall thanks to God S Declare to me more fullie all that is contained in this holy Sacrament that knowing the greatnes thereof I may the better honour it M The Hoast which you see vpon the Altar before it be consecrated is nothing else but a litle bread made in forme of a thin Wáfer cake but immediatly when the Priest hath pronounced the consecration there is present in the Hoast the true bodie of our Lord and because the true bodie of our Lord is liuing and vnited to the Diuinitie in the person of the Sonne of God therefore together with the bodie is the blood also and the soule and the Deitie and so whole Christ God and man In the same maner in the Chalice before the consecration there is nothing else but a litle wine with a litle water but suddenly the consecration being ended there is the true blood of Christ and because the blood of Christ is not forth of his bodie therefore in the Chalice together with the blood are the body the soule and the Deitie of the same Christ and so whole Christ God man S I doe yet see that the Hoast after the consecration hath the figure of bread as before and that which is in the Chalice the figure of Wine as before M So it is that in the Hoast there remaineth the figure and also the colour and the taste of bread which was there before but not the substance of bread which was before And so vnder the forme of bread there is not bread but the bodie of our Lorde And the better to vnderstand this I wil giue you an example You haue heard that Lots wife was conuerted into a statute of salt those that saw the statute did see the figure of Lot his wife which then was not any more Lots wife but vnder the figure of a woman was salt As there fore in that conuersion the inward substance was changed the outward shape remayned so in this Mysterie the inward substance is changed from bread into the bodie of our Lord the outward figure of bread remaining which was there before The same also you are to vnderstand of the Chalice that is that there is the figure the taste the colour the smel of wine yet is there not the substance of wine but the blood of our Lord vnder that forme of wine S It seemeth to me a great thing that a great body as that of our lord can be vnder so litle a forme as that of the consecrated Hoast M It is certainely a great thinge but the power of God is also great who can do greater things then we can vnderstand and so Christ when he said in the holie gospel that God could make a camel which is a beast bigger thē a horse to passe through the eye of a nedle he added that with mē these things are impossible but with God al things are possible S I would be glad to haue some example how the same bodie of our Lord can be in so manie hostes as are in so many Altars M It is not needfull to vnderstand the wonders of God but it sufficeth to beleue them seeing we are certain that God cānot deceiue vs. Yet I wil giue you an example for your consolation It is sure that our soule is but one is whole in al the members of the body al wholly in the head al in the feet yea whole in euery litle part of our bodie what marueill is it then that God can make the body of his Sonne to be in many Hoasts seeing one and the same soule to bee whole intire in so many so diuers and distinct parts of the bodie It is read in the life of S. Anthonie of Padua that the same time hee was Preaching in a citie of Italie he was also by Gods power in Portugal to do some other good works And if God could make Saint Anthonie to be in two places at one
